Netgear MA311. PCI, Prism 2.5 chipset, I've got two running for some time 
as APs with firmware 1.1.1/1.5.6. It claims PCI 2.2 but one is on a 5 yr 
old motherboard (Tyan Trinity 100AT with the dreaded VIA MVP3 chipset) 
which is probably pre-PCI 2.1

3Com 3CRDW696 (also Prism 2.5) looks like a very similar proposition but I 
don't have much experience with that yet.
